New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Magnitude – open-source AI browser automation framework

Show HN: Magnitude – open-source AI browser automation framework 13 by anerli | 6 comments Hey HN, Anders and Tom here. We had a post about our AI test automation framework 2 months ago that got a decent amount of traction ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43796003 ). We got some great feedback from the community, with the most positive response being about our vision-first approach used in our browser agent. However, many wanted to use the underlying agent outside the testing domain. So today, we're releasing our fully featured AI browser automation framework. You can use it to automate tasks on the web, integrate between apps without APIs, extract data, test your web apps, or as a building block for your own browser agents. Traditionally, browser automation could only be done via the DOM, even though that’s not how humans use browsers. Most browser agents are still stuck in this paradigm. With a vision-first approach, we avoid relying on flaky DOM navigation and perform bet...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: OSAI-Browser – A P2P Browser for Web3 and HTML Games

Show HN: OSAI-Browser – A P2P Browser for Web3 and HTML Games 5 by EvoSync | 2 comments https://evosync.itch.io/osai OSAI Browser is an peer-to-peer (P2P) browser currently in active development. My goal is to redefine how we interact with the web, focusing on decentralization and cutting-edge capabilities for web content. As a core future functionality, I envision distributed computing for high-quality web games and IoT applications, leveraging the P2P architecture to achieve impressive image fidelity and performance. Imagine games that harness the collective power of connected users, or IoT devices seamlessly interacting through a decentralized browser! Currently, the browser successfully allows users to drag-and-drop ZIP files directly to install and run web games. This demonstrates the practical application of its unique P2P distribution model. Crucially, both the server and client functionalities are already up and running, providing a robust foundation for the P2P network. We al...

Show HN: Tritium – The Legal IDE in Rust 21 by piker | 6 comments $1,500 an hour and still using the software my grandma used to make bingo fliers!? Hi HN! I'd like to submit for your consideration Tritium ( https://tritium.legal ). Tritium aims to bring the power of the integrated development environment (IDE) to corporate lawyers. My name is Drew Miller, and I'm lawyer admitted to the New York bar. I have spent the last 13 years in and out of corporate transactional practice, while building side projects in various languages using vanilla Vim. One day at work, I was asked to implement a legal technology product at my firm. Of course the only product available for editing and running programs in a locked-down environment was VS Code and its friends like Puppeteer from Microsoft. I was really blown away at all of the capabilities of go-to definition and out-of-the box syntax highlighting as well as the debugger integration. I made the switch to a full IDE for my side projects ...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: AI game animation sprite generator

Show HN: AI game animation sprite generator 7 by lyogavin | 2 comments I tried to build AI game animation generator last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40395221 ), a lot of people were interested, but it failed, mainly because the technology was not good enough. 1 year passed, there were a lot of developments in video/image generation. I tried it again, I think it works super well now. Actually beyond my expectation. You can generate all kinds of game character animation sprites with only 1 image. 1, upload your image of your character 2, choose the action you want 3, generate! Support basic actions like Run, Jump, Punch and complicated ones like: Shoryuken, Spinning kick, etc. High quality sprite sheet will be directly generated to use in Unity and any game engine. If you are an indie game developer, you don't need to high an artist or animator to develop you game. For studios, it's 10x cost saving and 10x efficiency as no more creating animations for 100 NPCs 10...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: ClickStack – Open-source Datadog alternative by ClickHouse and HyperDX

Show HN: ClickStack – Open-source Datadog alternative by ClickHouse and HyperDX 39 by mikeshi42 | 6 comments Hey HN! Mike & Warren here from HyperDX (now part of ClickHouse)! We’ve been building ClickStack, an open source observability stack that helps you collect, centralize, search/viz/alert on your telemetry (logs, metrics, traces) in just a few minutes - all powered by ClickHouse (Apache2) for storage, HyperDX (MIT) for visualization and OpenTelemetry (Apache2) for ingestion. You can check out the quick start for spinning things up in the repo here: https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx ClickStack makes it really easy to instrument your application so you can go from bug reports of “my checkout didn’t go through” to a session replay of the user, backend API calls, to DB queries and infrastructure metrics related to that specific request in a single view. For those that might be migrating from Very Expensive Observability Vendor (TM) to something open source, more performant, an...
